Assessing Symmetry in Landing Mechanics During Single-Leg and Bilateral Tasks in Healthy Recreational Athletes
… assess differences in these metrics between two landing tasks and between sexes. METHODS: 60 healthy recreational athletes performed seven trials of a stop-jump task and seven trials of a single-leg hop for distance on each limb. The kinematics and kinetics of the first landing of the stop-jump …

Development and Validation of Clinically Feasible Methods to Assess Landing Mechanics in Patients Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
… lower extremity kinetics and kinematics during landing can provide information about a patient's risk for sustaining a second ACL injury and having further joint trauma. However, currently accepted methods to assess kinetics and kinematics are not feasible to use in most non-research settings as …

Effects of Increased Shoe Collar Height and Limb Dominance on Landing Knee Biomechanics in Collegiate Volleyball Players
… the effect of MC and limb dominance on knee landing mechanics. It was hypothesized that participants would land with greater initial contact (IC) and peak frontal joint plane angles and moments and smaller IC and peak sagittal plane joint angles and moments at the knee in MC and dominant limb …

The Impact of Race and Related Factors on Movement Mechanics
Purpose: Race has rarely been the focus of biomechanics investigations, despite affecting the incidence of musculoskeletal injury and disease. Existing racial differences in movement mechanics could drive disease development and help identify factors contributing to racial health disparities. This …

The Impact of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Sex, and Sport-specific, Game-like Factors on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry during Landing
… can occur when athletes use poor or inconsistent mechanics during typical sport-related movements like landing from a jump. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are especially devastating, and certain populations like female athletes and athletes with a previous ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are …

Impact of Sex and Stretch-Shortening Cycle Induced-Fatigue on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry During the Stop-Jump
… occurring in the female population.117,12 Landing mechanics that are more erect, and those that are more asymmetrical, are known to increase the risk of injury, and may be heightened by the onset of fatigue.32 This study aimed to assess the effect of sex and fatigue induced by the …

Biomechanical evaluation of landing maneuvers in soccer players with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
… reliability of kinematics and kinetics during 2 landing tasks to determine the number of trials needed to achieve acceptable reliability, 2) to determine between-session reliability of kinematics, kinetics, and F-Scan system during the 2 landing maneuvers performed by healthy soccer players, 3) …

Strength and power assessment in rehabilitation: profiling the athlete’s return to sport journey following ACL reconstruction
… physical capacity results in different SLDJ mechanics in adult male soccer players following ACL reconstruction. Moderate to large significant differences between the ACL reconstructed and uninjured limb in SLDJ performance (d = 0.92 – 1.05), kinetic (d = 0.62 – 0.71) and kinematic variables …
